Jock, I created an account on the Photobucket web site and then copied the http:// into the body of the message. When you create or respond to a thread on the X site, right above where you type in your "message" there are a group if icons, one of them, which is a yellow box that has what looks like a mountain and moon in it, is the one to click on to insert an image. Clicking on that icon brings up a pop-up that asks for an http:// address. I just copied the address from Photobucket into this pop-up and then there was the photo. It was actually quite simply. I hope this helps.
